Richard Lapchick, who has spent decades advocating for more diversity in sports, says, "There's no question that the so-called prime jobs, programs with great traditions, have been less available to African-Americans."

"Stepping in at Texas or Penn State," Lapchick said, "makes that a lot easier." (AP Photo/Eric Gay)
